He bills it as a "playlist" and Drake’s latest project, More Life, has gone straight to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, shifting 505,000 "equivalent album units". It's not actually available in physical form, so this is all from streaming and digital sales.

The album (if we can call it that) is made up of 22 tracks of new music and is already a record breaker  - being streamed nearly 90 million times in its first 24 hours via Apple Music (he has an exclusive partnership with them) and over 300 million times in its first week. 

More Life is the seventh consecutive No 1 debut for the Canadian rapper, whose mother, Sandi, is Jewish. He was also the most streamed artist of 2016.
